October 2015 • GUIDE 3 Left: Linsey Beckett; Right: Brittany Haas FIDDLERS! 22 Celebrates the Life of Hilt Kelly this October at the Roxbury Arts Center The first snap of autumn, the vibrant colors on the mountainside, and the scent of harvest means its time for fiddling, square dancing, fine homemade food, and world renowned folk musicians in Hilt Kelly Hall at the Roxbury Arts Center; it’s time for the FIDDLERS! Festival, and this one promises to be extra special. This year’s event will be held on Sunday, October 11 from noon to 7 pm at the Rox- bury Arts Center, 5025 Vega Mountain Road, Roxbury For over two decades, FIDDLERS! revolved around Catskill fiddling legend Hilt Kelly, whose music and presence and inspiration filled the Roxbury Arts Center—in the hall named for him—with infectious energy. Hilt passed away this year, but his spirit will infuse FIDDLERS! 22, as a new crop of top folk artists celebrate his life and continue the vibrant Catskill tradition he embodied for genera- tions. FIDDLERS! 22 will feature a wide array of talent: Champion Canadian fiddling phenom Linsey Beckett brings award-winning musicianship and expert clogging; fiddler Brittany Haas, of newgrass stars Crooked Still, and celebrated dancer-musician Nic Gareiss offer up songs and percussive step-dancing; famed fiddlers Laura Kortright and Steve Jacobi will bring boot-stompin’ tunes; old time string band The Tremperskill Boys’ distinctive Scotch-Irish fueled, hard driving Appalachian sound is guaranteed to get the dancers spinning.

I’m preparing for craft fairs, cooking, dressing the dogs in blaze orange finery, and anticipating the dreaded holiday family get-togethers. We’ve all been there, sitting around the table with Aunt Gertie and Uncle Jasper, and someone asks you about Your Hiking Thing. After all the requisite jokes about the Bataan Death March and how the only hiking Cousin Fred is doing this year is to the fridge and back to the couch… someone asks you the why question. Why do you do it? Why a list? Why in the winter? And especially why if there is no view at the top? I have said it before: the Catskill Forest Preserve is my temple and my gym. The oft repeated John Burroughs quote rings true for me: I too go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.

These ranges extend westward for more than forty miles, covering parts of Ulster and Delaware and nearly all of Greene Counties, and are best known as the Catskills, the fabled Land of Rip Van Winkle. Within the borders of the Catskills will be found nearly a hundred villages and hamlets, located at the highest elevations east of the Rocky Mountains and enjoying temperatures that average from fifteen to twenty degrees lower than that of the seaboard cit ies, so it is not surprising that the region is the most popular and the best known of the American Sum­ mer Resort Sections, with a summer patronage that is conservatively placed at a quarter of a million visitors annually. Formed, according to m.odern geologists, by drift from the lost Ap­ palachia, the atmosphere of romance that has for more than a century surrounded the section has been somewhat enhanced by late discoveries, including the oldest forests in the world, found during the excavations for the extension of the New York City Water Supply, and the re-location of the Indian Flint Mines last year at Coxsackie.
